David Jacobo- blog #1 QUESTION #4

The text reveals conflict between the lower social class and the upper /middle social class. Seeing as Carol came from a lower social class than John, she feels oppressed by his language and his teaching methods/ styles. She is blaming him for her not learning and not understanding the concepts and methods that he speaks of in class. When going into a high prestige college or university, one is expected to know high level vocabulary, if one doesn't know something then he/she should ask not stay quiet until he/she receives a bad grade. Him knowing a higher level of vocabulary shouldn't cause a feminist to overreact and and make accusations of sexism.  I don't believe that Carol was oppressed at all, she just wasn't smart enough to get through the class. i think it was selfish what she did, it seems that she wanted to just get rid of the professor for her own benefit.
